Sorry,can't remember all the first names,I met Eddie Banks when I was in Aden with 60 Sqn,and Dave Goddard I met in Maidstone after he got posted there. I also met Eddie Perkin in Chatham when we were at the RSME on courses.The same names on the colour photo also.
refrence your photo of 36 training party in1965. notice in the photo Eddie Banks, I have been trying to get in toutch with him for years. I served with him in 39 field squadron in Osnabruck and Aden. if you have any idea of his whereabouts I would be grateful if you could put him in toutch with me. thanks...PS I trained at Cove from February 1965.. tel..0113 2559507
I remember most of the names. Eddie Banks used to babysit for my sister-in-law who lives in Canada. I would love to hear from Paul Culliford (Scotland), Dave Hill (Manchester) Amos Burke (Trinidad) and any member of the group. Hope they are all still around and keeping in good health.
Sad news indeed but many thanks.
I have fond memories of Amos during our training. Hope his relative and friends have fond and loving memories also.
Good luck, Keep well and "Happy Xmas"

I'm sorry, the last time I saw or spoke to him was at Falaise camp Little Aden in !967. I think he was seconded to the MPBW.
Cheers mate ,, it was worth a try. REgards Steve
